Rowin LEF-301C DIST-III 2 Mode Rat Heavy Distortion Pedal True Bypass Mini Metal Guitar Effect

Product OverviewRowin LEF-301C DIST-III is a compact analog heavy distortion pedal faithfully replicating classic Pro Co Rat circuit, tailored for hard rock, thrash, stoner and heavy metal guitar & bass players. Equipped with a 2-position mode toggle switch, it delivers two distinct gain characters: warm vintage mid-focused grit and boosted turbo high-gain saturation with extra sustain and thick harmonics. Three full independent knobs precisely control output volume, distortion intensity and tonal filter frequency, letting players dial tones from smooth blues break-up to crushing saturated metal rhythm riffs and soaring high-gain leads. Rugged die-cast zinc alloy mini chassis saves valuable pedalboard space for bedroom practice, studio tracking and long live touring gigs. Adopts standard 3PDT hardwire true bypass circuit, completely preserves raw clean instrument tone with zero volume drop, bass loss or signal coloration when bypassed. Core Key Features2-Way Mode Toggle Switch (Two Distortion Voices)Vintage: Authentic classic Rat midrange-focused distortion, smooth creamy grit for blues, classic rock and stoner riffsTurbo: Boosted high-gain mode, extra saturation, longer sustain and richer upper harmonics for thrash, death and modern heavy metalThree Independent Tone Shaping KnobsLEVEL: Master output volume to match clean amp channel for seamless tone switchingDIST: Adjust distortion gain from mild light grit to fully saturated wall-of-sound heavy distortionFILTER: Rotate frequency filter to shift tone from dark thick low-mids to sharp bright cutting treble leadsAuthentic Discrete Analog Rat CircuitBuilt with classic BBD filter chip, rich natural harmonic distortion without thin digital harshness, retains full low-end bass response even at max gainFull 3PDT Hardwire True BypassUnbroken direct instrument signal path, no signal suck, zero hum or tone loss when pedal disengagedClear Red LED Working IndicatorBright status light clearly visible under dim stage lighting to confirm active effect stateShockproof Die-Cast Zinc Alloy HousingPalm-sized ultra-small footprint, scratch-resistant solid metal shell, anti-slip bottom pad for stable pedalboard placementStable Power Consumption30mA working current, compatible with standard 9V center-negative daisy-chain power suppliesFull Technical SpecificationsModel: LEF-301C (DIST-III)Brand: RowinEffect Type: Analog Pro Co Rat Clone Heavy Distortion PedalMode Selection: Vintage / Turbo 2-position slide toggleControls: LEVEL / DIST / FILTERInput Jack: 1/4” mono, Input Impedance: 1M OhmsOutput Jack: 1/4” mono, Output Impedance: 470 OhmsWorking Current: 30mAPower Supply: DC 9V center-negative barrel plug (adapter NOT included)Material: Die-Cast Zinc Alloy Metal ChassisDimensions: 95(D) × 45(W) × 48(H) mmNet Weight: 195gPackage Total Weight: 250gCompliance Certifications: FCC VOC, CE EMC/LVD, RoHS CertifiedPackage Includes1 × Rowin LEF-301C DIST-III Heavy Distortion Pedal1 × English User Manual1.
